NCAA Teams Claim That NIT Teams Have Easier Road to the Championship

An uproar from teams in the NCAA Tournament claim that teams in the NIT have an easier road to the championship. Rather than facing cinderella teams like Old Dominion, Murray State, and San Diego State, the teams in the NIT get to play underachieving teams like UConn and North Carolina.

The NCAA teams are also complaining that there is more pressure on them because of the constant media attention put on them compared to the NIT teams. They feel an obligation to win because some random guy in Montana picked them to go all the way to the Elite 8 in his office pool. The NCAA Teams also have to win 6 games to win the championship, instead of 5. Next year, the NCAA Teams are hoping to have a so-so season so the committee can "snub" them and they can be invited to the NIT.
